“There’s no loyalty in football anymore”
funkyrobot replied to Phube's topic in Leicester City Forum
To be fair even in what is a disloyal business. this Enzo saga is an unprecedented lack of loyalty. When has a new manager left after just one season straight after winning The Championship? I can’t remember this situation ever happening before. -
Yeh but that pre-assist against Brentford though…..🥰
-
He’s scored against Mexico too btw but the fact is he’s good in the air, it’s not all about goals, it’s defending and also creating havoc in the opposition box. Souttar had demonstrated both those attributes in a LCFC shirt. Not sure the relevance of your crap put-down but I’ll give it back to you anyway. 😂 ’Cry me a river..’
-
That’s a DHGate snide😂
-
I forgot that statistics like goals don’t count if they don’t suit your opinion 👍🏻👍🏻
-
He’s very good in the air defensively and attacking, he wins a lot of balls at both ends even if he doesn’t score. He’s scored 11 goals in 29 games for Australia.

Basic moral fibre in your friendship group? Presumably you have to interview any potential mates to check that they match the ultra high standards, including checking their kids drawers for LCFC tops! 😂 I’d suggest that any of the companies you’ve outlined will have some moral issues if they can afford ‘humungous advertising budgets’ - it tends to come with the territory. There’s not many businesses that make shed loads of money that won’t have skeletons in their moral closet somewhere!

They’ll take our East Stand Decelopment, Seagrave’s 9 hole golf course, The Birch, Filbert Fox, the £25 physical season ticket, clappers, free coconuts, FBS, Danny Ward, one of the big screens, our next 3 appointed managers, all the soap and blue roll in the toilets and Will Alves.

As is Luis Hernandez

Leicester City and VfL Bochum - Blue and White Friendship
funkyrobot replied to AndWhat?'s topic in Leicester City Forum
Congratulations Bochum! What a comeback. That Asano who came off the bench on the right wing is rapid btw! -
What are the positives? We’ve lost our whole management team just as we get promoted to The Premier League as Champions. When has that happened before? How can that be positive? We are now favourites to be relegated with the bookies ahead of both Ipswich and Southampton. Enzo has absolutely shithoused us.
-
Foxes talk is no barometer
-
Moyes is an absolutely massive risk from a spectator’s perspective. His teams definitely don’t entertain. Ask West Ham fans.
-
It’s not the same as a normal job is it? Firstly as a manager your contract gets paid in full even if you aren’t good enough to do it. What normal job rewards failure and incompetence in that way? Enzo is now taking the whole vision that got him the job in the first place, the whole coaching team that helped him, with no handover time and no real time to have built the resilience into the club that could continue the vision. We’ll be starting from scratch in the most difficult league in the world and as such we are now definitely favourites to be relegated. He’s not even given it a year. I don’t remember the last manager that has shown such a lack of loyalty in the English game never mind at Leicester. Irrespective of whether you think he would’ve got us relegated, he shouldn’t be praised for making a decision that betrays the players he signed and coached and the fans that sang his name and expected a bit more loyalty than 11 & 1/2 months in The Championship.
-
Not sure how many companies with your very high standards there are that can afford Premier League sponsorship tbf. 😂
-
What you’ve outlined is not the decision making process of someone who truly backs themselves though. That’s a decision of someone who doubts they may be good enough to get another offer!
-
That was my point mate
-
Glad you know his thoughts. Doesn’t make much sense though as usually people use poll results to demonstrate a general consensus rather than knowingly not as you appear to suggest. Anyway who cares.
-
What did he mean then? My understanding was he suggested the poll reflected the opinion of Leicester fans at the time, otherwise why mention it?
-
You do realise that the VAST majority of Leicester fans wouldn’t even be aware of this Enzo out poll don’t you? Social media and reality are two very different things.
-
Fact is, he’s turned Brighton down and is staying at Ipswich. This will be his third season with the Tractor Boys. Maresca has given us one. I’d say committing to 3 years is loyal. Staying just for 1 season is definitely not.
-
Suddenly Soutts might be back in the picture at Leicester now Enzo is taking the step down to Chelsea. Enzo didn’t rate him but he’s so good in the air in both boxes and he’s a better ball player than he gets credit for.
-
McKenna has more sense than go to Chelsea. NO manager is a long term success there. 2 years at best, most last less than a year.
-
McKenna has shown loyalty. It does exist. I have no issue with being used as a stepping stone but after 1 season? Not having that, we should expect better as fans, I’m sure the players that have worked hard under him, players like Winksy will be surprised and disappointed. I agree with your Xmas prediction though!
-
Leaving after less than 12 months is not respecting the badge in any way. It’s a lack of respect and loyalty for the club that has given you a fabulous opportunity. He’s had a great season but if he leaves this quickly having remodelled LCFC as part of a supposed long term project he talked about then he goes in the same bin as McGhee and Megson!
